2.9mm Cystoscope Manual Urology

Description

The 2.9mm Manual Cystoscope is a precision-engineered, minimally invasive instrument designed for diagnostic and therapeutic visualization of the bladder and urethra. Compact in diameter and constructed with durable medical-grade stainless steel, this manual cystoscope offers outstanding manoeuvrability, sharp optical clarity, and compatibility with a wide range of accessories for urological procedures.

Ideal for male and female cystoscopy—especially in cases where smaller diameter instruments are necessary—this 2.9mm scope is a go-to tool for outpatient clinics, surgical centres, and hospital urology departments.

 

Medical Process Explanation

Cystoscopy is a common endoscopic procedure used by urologists to examine the interior of the bladder and urethra to diagnose or treat various conditions such as haematuria, urinary tract infections, bladder tumours, strictures, and more.

Typical Procedure Flow:

1. Patient Preparation:
   • The patient is placed in the lithotomy position.
   • Local, regional, or general anaesthesia is administered.
2. Scope Introduction:
   • The 2.9mm manual cystoscope is gently inserted through the urethra into the bladder.
3. Irrigation:
   • Sterile saline is used to expand the bladder and clear the field of view.
4. Inspection and Diagnosis:
   • The interior bladder wall, urethra, and ureteral orifices are visualized.
   • Biopsies or minor treatments may be conducted via accessory tools.
5. Conclusion:
   • After completing the exam or treatment, the scope is withdrawn, and post-operative care is initiated.

This compact cystoscope is especially effective for patients with narrow urethras, strictures, or in paediatric and female cases where smaller instrumentation improves comfort and safety.
